Compromise the Only Thing Left.


Special the indianapolis Journa.
LONDON, Nov 21.-It is thought that the out
come of the French governmental crisis will
have to be a compromise between President
Grevy and NJ. Clemeuceau The President hav-
ing declared that nothing on earth will induce
him to resign, aud II. Clemenceau having vowed
that nothing will induce him to accent the
premiership while Mr.. Grevy is President, the
situation is said by cynical Frenchmen to re-
seulble the famous problem of the school books
as to what win happen -hen an irresistible force
comes in contact with an immovable body.
NJ. Grevy may. with some stretch of the i'm
imagination. be said TO represent the immovabe
body for he cannot be removed except by i'm
peaehment, and his widest enemy would not
dream of attacking his integrity. On the other
hand, NJ. Clemenceau represents the irresistible
force of public opinion and political expediency.
Following the same line as Gambetta Clemen-
ceau has passed through all the stages of French
political graduation, first as the rantipg idol OF
the mob, perfect Anarchist; then the fery
leader of the extreme Left, and gradually grow
ing more cautious and moderate. until now he
is almost the Conservative line,
though he is still cassed with the

favor and it will doubtless come in the shape of
his naming Premier. Ths nominee will be

policy and here again Gambetta's example is
